Application functionality testing, resiliency testing, chaos testing, and performance testing in a single platform

Abstract

A network system to provide testing, resiliency, chaos and performance testing in a single tool that operates on cloud-based applications in real time. When applications are deployed on a cloud environment, the applications must be validated based on functional aspects, performance aspects, resiliency aspects, and test-code coverage ratio aspects. The system combines all these validations in a single package. The system provides a rich set of modules for functional validations, which can be combined as nodes to allow applications to be quickly validated for functionality. The extensible model of the same functional modules may also be used for performance testing. The system also provides resiliency and chaos testing mechanisms that push the applications into a constant state of perturbation. The system does so by detecting the application code and modifying the code at runtime to inject perturbation. The system monitors the recovery of the system from the testing.
